Canadian Election Results Thread

In Quebec, the wealthy Anglos have long gone Liberal whereas in Toronto it depends.  It is true during the 90s, many of the wealthy WASP areas in Toronto voted Liberal, but those same areas voted for Mike Harris provincially and Mulroney in the 80s, whereas asides from perhaps Mulroney in the 80s, I don't think the wealthy Anglo areas in Montreal ever went Tory and even then I still think the Liberals won there.

Angus Reid:

Tories: 39
NDP: 31
Libs: 19
BQ: 6
Grn: 4

Vastly different from Nanos

  Both pollsters in the past have been pretty close to accurate in terms of their final polls and the actual election results.  Interesting enough Angus-Reid gives numbers almost identical to what the results were this past election.  Either way I don't expect numbers to change much until something dramatic happens.  Probably after next year's budget when the spending cuts are announced is when we will start to see numbers move.

Oh? I wonder who's leading in the GTA, then.

Depends on how you define the GTA.  If just Toronto it could be either the NDP or Liberals, but if you include the 905, then it would have the be the Liberals considering how weak the NDP is in most parts of the 905 save a few ridings here and there.

I haven't posted anything in a while, but as the weather gets colder and I am out less, I will try and work on some more maps.
